per CBS:
Since everything else with the NCAA is cumbersome, you didn't think the “unlimited” meals plan passed last month would be easy, right? Athletic directors are supportive of the reform, but some wonder if the plan needs guidance.
“If not better defined this is far bigger than bagels, nutrition bars or smoothies,” Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said. “It leaves the interpretation open to all kinds of abuse.”
Translation: It's not really defined at all, other than, starting Aug. 1, schools can provide meals and snacks based around team-related activities, which is also broadly defined. What is a team activity? Players meet with coaches or student-advisors or with each other all the time.
The safe bet is dining halls won't be open at 2 a.m.
Another safe bet: Costs will be significant, which means another inherent arms race could be on the way.
Kansas State's John Currie outlined his enhanced meal plan that will likely cost between $600,000 and $1 million annually.
